The Jenkem effect

Jenkem demonstrated the weakness in Wikipedia's citing "trusted sources".

The media had been completely hoaxed, but the neckbeards slavishly followed wikipedia guideline and edited a totally serious article about huffing shit, blocking any "original research" that everyone knew it was a hoax.

The article now correctly defines it as a media hoax, but this literal shit went on for years.
